The REAL reason why Arjun Kapoor signed ‘Mubarakan’

Actor Arjun Kapoor is all to set to share screen with his uncle Anil Kapoor, for the first time in ‘Mubarakan’, which will also see Arjun in a double role.

Speaking of the main reason that he signed the film, Arjun says, “Playing a Sardar for the first time was the biggest reason that I signed the film. Though I was excited about taking on such a role, I was nervous and apprehensive before I started. To play a character is one thing, but to imagine, build on it and look the part is another ball-game altogether. I was nervous, but fortunately, the look worked out and I feel I did it convincingly.”

He further adds, “It’s been a really amazing journey playing a Sardar. It changes your body language, the way you walk, everything. Wearing that turban changes your demeanour. It’s like when you wear a suit you gain in confidence. When you wear a turban, you do the same — your demeanour becomes more confident.”

Talking about the director Anees Bazmee, the actor adds, “I have never done an out-and-out comedy before. I have grown up watching and enjoying Anees Bazmee’s films. He’s a man who has an experience of 40 years in Bollywood and has been an assistant to the late Raj Kapoor. When you are working with a director of that level, you are relaxed.”

‘Mubarakan’ releases next year and will also star Ileana D’Cruz and Athiya Shetty as the leading ladies.
